What is the best way to change the rear springs on my 3 door done the front ones and thought that i'd do the back but looks a bast@rd do the drive shaft have to come out ?
help please i have to do it on the drive and want it done quick as it f_ing cold
thanx maca

 

No need to disconnect the driveshaft.
Put axle stands under chassis/sill at rear, disconnect shock, this will allow it to drop down low enough to be able to lever them out, if new ones are lowered they can be put in with just hand pressure, don't forget to turn so they but up against the stop at the bottom.
The only thing you have to watch is the brake pipe, doesn't stretch too much, I don't know how long/what type you have, but at most it would just be discoonect these and bleed, though I have never yet needed to do this on a 3 door car.
